[Biking-L] Trail Work! Kind of...

[Cycle Path Bicycles]

I've done trail maintenance with John Knouse. He is a very colorful person.

You must ask him to sing some Germanic Opera while you are working.

Nothing like chipping away at the trail  while someone behind you is 
belting out Vaughner.

It's a great experience.
